A. Jaundice is very common among newborns. It occurs when the bilirubin level in the blood is high. Usually, jaundice in newborns is harmless. It easily gets cured on its own within a span of one to two weeks after the birth of the baby. But if the bilirubin level remains high, the baby should be hospitalised. There are some remedies that one can try to treat jaundice in newborns. However, one should consult a doctor before trying these remedies. https://parenting.firstcry.com/articles/top-10-home-remedies-for-jaundice-in-newborns/?amp
